Brightly-Colored Roses To Celebrate Hispanic Heritage

By Todd McBride on October 1, 2018 in Flowers, Roses. 0 Comments

From September 15 through October 15, the U.S. celebrates National Hispanic Heritage Month, a time to acknowledge the rich contributions of Latin America, including its floriculture. Without Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and the Americas, we wouldn't have sunflowers, dahlias, anthurium, roses and much more. Since ancient times, many Latin American countries have been tending to and harvesting some of our most beloved flowers and plants, coaxing them to life using methods developed over hundreds of years. Billy Heroman's Flowers & Gifts honors the heritage and culture of Latin America, which is alive and well here in the U.S., thanks to our Hispanic American community. Read More

By Todd McBride on September 10, 2018 in Plants. 0 Comments

September is Self Care Awareness Month, and Billy Heroman's Flowers and Gifts is on board. We know the intoxicating effect of flowers, but we're also keenly aware of the health-giving ones that plants bring. They clean the air. They make it smell better. They remove toxins. They regulate temperature. They humidify. They've been shown to decrease stress in the workplace and to support hospital patients in their recovery. They are indeed an emblem of self care. Read More
